Interesting weave on Algorithms and personal choice. What popped out to me was to wonder what the conclusion is as humans become more robotic and AI becomes more human? What child will these two birth?

Computer science is fascinating and often over my head, yet I like to think I am keeping up — even if in the bottom 20%. However, as I came to the end of your story my question was answered!

OMG! Socialism!

Does this mean the more comfortable we become with algorithms listing our options and making our decisions, the longer it will take us to realize Socialism has seeped-in and taken over?

Fabulous job, Kartik!
